Agreed. Little bit more in these departments and we'd have ourselves a truly class player. Would set up far more shots like the one that generated this thread.

What I like about Siggy is that he often seems like a passenger. Don't fucking pummel me yet!
What I mean is that he takes important touches that get the ball somewhere; if there's no opening where he is, he'll switch it or pass t and give someone else a go.
As before, his weakness is his confidence. Reminds me of Modric; that shot today was pure instinct and he just let loose almost without thinking. Modric did the same against Liverpool and really COULD shoot but rarely did so without taking an extra touch.
Siggy seems to be getting more comfortable, though. Can only be a good thing since he's happy to play on the left.

No, its not just you. I questioned why he and Eriksen were behind Holtby the other day as Siggy had made such a good start to the season, and was then just dropped.....got a fair bit of stick, and people posting Holtby heat maps and shit...
I think after scoring a good goal last night though, the sheep will finally come round.
Expect to see him in everyones starting 11 for the next match, and not Holtby
They don't play in the same position. It was Lennon that displaced him not Holtby. Siggy was poor early in the season behind the striker.
His middle name is thor..... :gylfi:
Ohhh its gylfi, ohhh its gylfi
We buy a shit ton of attacking talent and Gylfi and Townsend are our two best players in those positions so far.
Who would have guessed.
Who would have guessed.
And we would have had more points - even Top 4.
Remember the Everton away game last yr, if the ball goes in we would have won rather than lost.
Hoping this weekend we win.
Gylfi has one of the best shots I've seen, great technique too. The problem for him lies in his disability to get into games, he doesn't find the space he would need for himself. I want him to succeed badly, but he has to learn a few things and maybe also work on getting a bit faster.

I'd say your covering your options with your 'Jan' Avatar!
That goal was simply fab, probably will be our 'goal of the season'.
He showed that capability while with Swansea, and indeed has at times with us.
Will he play v Everton? I hope so.
Incidentally, a lot of people claim that our 'shots from outside the box' strategy doesn't count as 'real chances'. I can sympathise with that view as most goals do come from closer in, but last night it was pot shot bingo, twice over!

Love Lennon but Gylfi has to start ahead of him. Chadli third option. Dont know why we got chadli exactly but hindsight is 20/20 as they say. Hope Chadli finds his form but i cant see him wanting to be 3rd string. anyone know if he can play CAM, Striker or on the right? still cant really tell from his performances for us.
